Abstract
A One Health lens is increasingly significant to address the intertwined challenges in planetary health concerned with the health of humans, nonhuman animals, plants, and ecosystems. A One Health approach can benefit the public health systems in Africa that are overburdened by noncommunicable, infectious, and environmental diseases. Notably, the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the previously overlooked two-fold importance of pharmacogenetics (PGx), for individually tailored treatment of noncommunicable diseases and environmental pathogens. For example, dyslipidemia, a common cardiometabolic risk factor, has been identified as an independent COVID-19 severity risk factor. Observational data suggest that patients with COVID-19 infection receiving lipid-lowering therapy may have better outcomes. However, among African patients, the response to these drugs varies from patient to patient, pointing to the possible contribution of genetic variation in important pharmacogenes. The PGx of lipid-lowering therapies may underlie differences in treatment responses observed among dyslipidemia patients as well as patients comorbid with COVID-19 and dyslipidemia. Genetic variations in APOE, ABCB1, CETP, CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, HMGCR, LDLR, NPC1L1, and SLCO1B1 genes affect the pharmacogenomics of statins, and they have individually been linked to differential responses to dyslipidemia and COVID-19 treatment. African populations are underrepresented in PGx research. This leads to poor accounting of additional diverse genetic variants that could be important in understanding interindividual and between-population variations in therapeutic responses to dyslipidemia and COVID-19. This expert review examines and synthesizes the salient and priority PGx variations, as seen through a One Health lens in Africa, to improve and inform personalized medicine in both dyslipidemia and COVID-19.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) has a high mortality rate. Despite various therapeutic targets, non-responsiveness to drugs remains a prevalent issue. Pharmacogenomics assesses the way an individual's genetic attributes affect their likely response to drug therapy. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms play a crucial role in determining these outcomes. This review offers an overview of single-nucleotide polymorphisms investigated in clinical studies and their associations with drug response/nonresponse in the treatment of CAD. A total of 104 studies of whole sets of chromosomes and several genes were explored. A total of 161 polymorphisms exhibited associations with drug response/nonresponse in CAD across diverse ethnic populations. This pool can serve as a pharmacogenomic biomarker for predicting response to drug therapy in patients with CAD.

Abstract
Despite the availability of many therapeutic options, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia remains high. There exists a significant unmet medical need for novel drugs and/or treatment combinations to effectively combat hypercholesterolemia while minimizing adverse reactions. The modulation of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) expression via perturbation of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) - dependent pathways, primarily FXR/small heterodimer partner (SHP) and FXR/ fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-19/ fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)-4 pathways, presents as a potential option to lower cholesterol levels. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the important role that CYP7A1 plays in cholesterol homeostasis and how its expression can be exploited to assert differential control of bile acid synthesis and cholesterol metabolism. Additionally, the paper also summarizes the current therapeutic options for hypercholesterolemia, and positions modulators of CYP7A1 expression, namely FGFR4 inhibitors and FXR antagonists, as emerging and distinct pharmacological agents to complement and diversify the treatment regime. Their mechanistic and clinical considerations are also extensively described to interrogate the benefits and risks associated with using FXR-mediating agents, either singularly or in combination with recognised agents such as statins to target hypercholesterolemia.

Association of NPC1L1 and HMGCR gene polymorphisms with coronary artery calcification in patients with premature triple-vessel coronary disease. BMC Med Genomics 2024; 17:22. [PMID: 38233830 PMCID: PMC10795340 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-024-01802-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a highly specific marker of atherosclerosis. Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) are the therapeutic targets of ezetimibe and statins, respectively, which are important for the progression of atherosclerosis. However, CAC's genetic susceptibility with above targets is still unknown. We aimed to investigate the association of NPC1L1 and HMGCR gene polymorphisms with CAC in patients with premature triple-vessel disease (PTVD). METHODS Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs11763759, rs4720470, rs2072183, rs2073547) of NPC1L1, and three SNPs (rs12916, rs2303151, rs4629571) of HMGCR were genotyped in 872 PTVD patients. According to the coronary angiography results, patients were divided into low-degree CAC group and high-degree CAC group. RESULTS A total of 872 PTVD patients (mean age, 47.71 ± 6.12; male, 72.8%) were finally included for analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed no significant association between the SNPs of NPC1L1 and HMGCR genes and high-degree CAC in the total population (P > 0.05). Subgroup analysis by gender revealed that the variant genotype (TT/CT) of rs4720470 on NPC1L1 gene was associated with increased risk for high-degree CAC in male patients only (OR = 1.505, 95% CI: 1.008-2.249, P = 0.046) in dominant model, but no significant association was found in female population, other SNPs of NPC1L1 and HMGCR genes (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS We reported for the first time that the rs4720470 on NPC1L1 gene was associated with high-degree CAC in male patients with PTVD. In the future, whether therapies related to this target could reduce CAC and cardiovascular events deserves further investigation.

Abstract
Statins, also known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, are one of the most potently prescribed and thoroughly researched medications, predominantly utilized for managing cardiovascular diseases by modulating serum cholesterol levels. Despite the well-documented efficacy of statins in reducing overall mortality via attenuating the risk of cardiovascular diseases, notable interindividual variability in therapeutic responses persists as such variability could compromise the lipid-lowering efficacy of the drug, potentially increasing susceptibility to adverse effects or attenuating therapeutic outcomes.This phenomenon has catalysed a growing interest in the scientific community to explore common genetic polymorphisms within genes that encode for pivotal enzymes within the pharmacokinetic pathways of statins. In our review, we focus to provide insight into potentially clinically relevant polymorphisms associated with statins' pharmacokinetic participants and assess their consequent implications on modulating the therapeutic outcomes of statins among distinct genetic carrier.

Abstract
Despite extensive efforts to identify patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) who could most benefit from the treatment approach, patients vary in their benefit from therapy and propensity for adverse drug events. Genetic variability in individual responses to drugs (pharmacogenetics) is considered an essential determinant in responding to a drug. Thus, understanding these pharmacogenomic relationships has led to a substantial focus on mechanisms of disease and drug response. In turn, understanding the genomic and molecular bases of variables that might be involved in drug response is the main step in personalized medicine. There is a growing body of data evaluating drug-gene interactions in recent years, some of which have led to FDA recommendations and detection of markers to predict drug responses (e.g., genetic variant in VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genes for prediction of drug response in warfarin treatment). Also, statins are widely prescribed drugs for the prevention of CVD. Atorvastatin, fluvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin, and lovastatin are the most common statins used to manage dyslipidemia. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on the pharmacogenetics of statins, which are being used to treat cardiovascular diseases.

Association between CYP3A4/CYP3A5 genetic polymorphisms and treatment outcomes of atorvastatin worldwide: is there enough research on the Egyptian population? Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:381. [PMID: 37759317 PMCID: PMC10523700 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01038-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atorvastatin is regarded as the most frequently prescribed statin worldwide for dyslipidemia. However, clinical response and risk of adverse effects to statin therapy are associated with genetic variations. Numerous research linked statins pharmacokinetics (PK) variations to genetic polymorphisms in cytochromes P450 (CYPs) metabolic enzymes. OBJECTIVE This article reviews the association between CYP3A4/5 genetic variations and response to atorvastatin therapy globally, which includes atorvastatin PK, and the risk for adverse reactions, with a hint to the Egyptians. METHODS Up to March 30, 2022, electronic medical databases like PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB) were searched. All articles that highlighted the relationship between CYP3A4/5 genetic polymorphisms and atorvastatin efficacy/safety profile were included in this review. RESULTS Initially, 492 articles were retrieved after an exhaustive search. There were 24 articles included according to the inclusion criteria. Findings of association studies of CYP3A4/5 genetic polymorphisms with response to atorvastatin varied among different ethnicities. CYP3A4*1B was associated with better therapeutic outcomes after atorvastatin therapy in Chileans and vice versa in Americans. Caucasians with myalgia while using atorvastatin were at significant risk of suffering severe muscle damage if they were carriers of CYP3A5*3/*3. As far as we can report for the Egyptian population, the impact of CYP3A4/5 genetic variations on the response to atorvastatin therapy was understudied. CONCLUSION More pharmacogenetic studies amongst diverse populations worldwide, like the Egyptian population, are necessary to detect further atorvastatin-gene interactions.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Various publications suggested that there is an association between CYP7A1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and a reduced response to statin therapy, but the results were inconsistent. This study aimed to collectively review these publications to appraise the effect of statins on cholesterol control in carriers of CYP7A1 variant alleles. Methods: PUBMED, Cochrane and EMBASE were searched systematically to identify reported studies on the lipid responses to statin treatment between carriers of the variant allele versus the non-variant allele of CYP7A1 SNPs. The change from baseline in lipid responses for all included studies were calculated using weighted mean differences (WMD) (with 95% confidence interval (CI)). A meta-analysis was conducted to pool results using either the random-effects model or the fixed effects model. Results: A total of 6 publications comprising of 1,686 subjects for the assessment of total cholesterol, LDL-C and HDL-C and 1,156 subjects for the assessment of triglycerides were included in the meta-analyses. Subjects who were non-carriers of a CYP7A1 SNP (-204 A/C (rs3808607), -278 A/C (rs3808607) and rs8192875) had a greater reduction in total cholesterol (overall WMD -0.17, 95% CI -0.29, -0.06) and LDL-C levels (overall WMD -0.16, 95% CI -0.26, -0.05) as compared with subjects who borne the variant allele of CYP7A1 SNPs when administered a statin. Conclusion: The presence of variant allele of CYP7A1 SNPs may result in suboptimal control of total cholesterol and LDL-C levels as compared with individuals who do not carry the variant allele, when administered an equivalent dose of statin.

Abstract
Purpose Statins are increasingly widely used in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, there is an inter-individual variation in statin response among patients. The study aims to determine the association between genetic variations in drug-metabolizing enzyme and transporter (DMET) genes and lipid-lowering response to a statin in Thai patients with hyperlipidemia. Patients and Methods Seventy-nine patients who received statin at steady-state concentrations were recruited. Serum lipid profile was measured at baseline and repeated after 4-month on a statin regimen. The genotype profile of 1936 DMET markers was obtained using Affymetrix DMET Plus genotyping microarrays. Results In this DMET microarray platform, five variants; SLCO1B3 (rs4149117, rs7311358, and rs2053098), QPRT (rs13331798), and SLC10A2 (rs188096) showed a suggestive association with LDL-cholesterol-lowering response. HDL-cholesterol-lowering responses were found to be related to CYP7A1 gene variant (rs12542233). Seven variants, SLCO1B3 (rs4149117, rs7311358, and rs2053098); SULT1E1 (rs3736599 and rs3822172); and ABCB11 (rs4148768 and rs3770603), were associated with the total cholesterol-lowering response. One variant of the ABCB4 gene (rs2109505) was significantly associated with triglyceride-lowering response. Conclusion This pharmacogenomic study identifies new genetic variants of DMET genes that are associated with the lipid-lowering response to statins. Genetic polymorphisms in DMET genes may impact the pharmacokinetics and lipid-lowering response to statin. The validation studies confirmations are needed in future pharmacogenomic studies.

Hypolipidemic and Hepatoprotective Effects of Polysaccharides Extracted from Liriope spicata Var. Prolifera in C57BL/6J Mice with High-Fat Diet-Induced Hyperlipidemia. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2020; 2020:8013189.

Abstract
In this study, C57BL/6J mice with high-fat diet- (HFD-) induced hyperlipidemia were treated with total Liriope spicata var. prolifera polysaccharides (TLSP: 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg body weight), simvastatin (3 mg/kg body weight), or saline for 8 weeks, respectively. The results showed that TLSP had strong lipid-lowering and hepatoprotective effects on C57BL/6J mice with HFD-induced hyperlipidemia. TLSP administration significantly reduced serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and downregulated the expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ and fatty acid synthase (FAS) in the adipose and liver tissues of the mice. TLSP exerted hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective effects by activating lipid/bile acid metabolism via the FXH-SHP/CYP7A1 and SEBP-1c/FAC/ACC signaling pathways. Thus, TLPS is a promising natural polymer with hepatoprotective and hypolipidemic properties.

Abstract
Statins are the first-line choice in Lipid-lowering therapy to reduce cardiovascular risk. In a continuous attempt to optimise treatment success, there is a need for additional research on genes and related molecular pathways that can determine the efficacy and toxicity of lipid-lowering drugs. Several variations within genes associated with lipid metabolism, including those involved in uptake, distribution and metabolism of statins have been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of genetic variations in the key genes responsible for statins' metabolism and their role in personalised medicine and pharmacogenetic testing (PGx) in patients treated with such drugs. Genetic assessment for specific known SNPs within the most known genes such as ABCG2, SLCO1B1, CYP3A4, and HMGCR, appears likely to predict the efficacy of statin therapy and prevent their side effects but does not necessarily reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Key Messages Hypercholesterolaemia patients show different response to statin therapy. Several variations within genes associated with statin metabolism have been investigated. Genetic assessment for specific known SNPs within the most known genes may improve the efficacy of statins treatment and prevent their side effects.

Long-Term Effectiveness of Liraglutide for Weight Management and Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 17:ijerph17010207. [PMID: 31892206 PMCID: PMC6981922 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17010207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Revised: 12/17/2019] [Accepted: 12/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Background: Liraglutide is the first glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) based on the human GLP-1 sequence, with potential weight loss benefits, approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus. Herein, we aimed to assess the 5-year effectiveness of Liraglutide in the management of weight and glycometabolic control in a Southern Italian cohort of overweight/obese T2D patients, who were naïve to GLP-1 RAs. Patients and Methods: Forty overweight or obese patients treated with Liraglutide at doses up to 1.8 mg/day, in combination with one or more oral antidiabetic agents, were retrospectively assessed at baseline, during, and after 60 months of continuous therapy. Results: After 5 years of Liraglutide treatment, body weight decreased from 92.1 ± 20.5 kg to 87.3 ± 20.0 Kg (p < 0.001), with a mean reduction of 5.0 ± 7.0 Kg and a body mass index (BMI) decrement of −2.0 ± 3.1 Kg/m2. On Spearman’s univariate analysis, change in body weight was correlated with female gender and baseline BMI. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) decreased from 7.9 ± 0.9% at baseline to 7.0 ± 0.7% at the end of the study period (p < 0.001), followed by a significant reduction in fasting plasma glucose. No significant differences emerged in other biochemical parameters, despite a trend toward improvement in lipid profile. Notwithstanding encouraging effects on several markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD), increments in the 5- and 10-year risk for the first atherosclerotic cardiovascular event were documented, as four incident cases of myocardial infarction. Conclusions: Prolonging treatment with Liraglutide can lead to durable benefits in relation to weight and glycemic control, with a greater impact on women. These results extend and corroborate previous observations, suggesting that gender per se may modulate the response to Liraglutide. Despite favorable effects on some established CVD risks factors, the long-term role of Liraglutide in primary prevention of CVD in patients with T2D remains controversial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying patients with high risk of low response to statin therapy is important for optimization of lipid-lowering therapy. Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase, a rate-limiting enzyme encoded by cytochrome P450 7A1 (CYP7A1) gene, is considered to be associated with statin efficacy. This study aimed to investigate the association between a novel CYP7A1 single nucleotide polymorphism rs3824260 and statin treatment response for hypercholesteremic patients in Chinese Han population. METHODS A total of 336 subjects were prescribed with simvastatin for 12 weeks after enrollment. Plasma lipid parameters were measured at enrollment and after 12-week simvastatin treatment separately. Subjects were classified into high- and low-response groups depending on their total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and TG changes and increase or reduction groups according to their high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels changing after simvastatin treatment. The CYP7A1 rs3824260 was genotyped from blood samples with a SNaPshot assay. RESULTS At baseline, the LDL-C level and TG level were significantly higher in the AA genotype, while the HDL-C level was significantly higher in the GG genotype of CYP7A1 rs3824260. Patients carrying AA genotype are at an increased risk of low response for LDL-C reduction (odds ratio = 2.295, 95% confidence interval = 1.164-4.524, P = 0.016). Furthermore, the GG genotype of rs3824260 was significantly associated with a high risk of HDL-C reduction response after simvastatin therapy (odds ratio = 2.240, 95% confidence interval = 1.137-4.413, P = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS The CYP7A1 gene polymorphism rs3824260 is related to inappropriate response of simvastatin treatment for hypercholesterolemia patients in Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the effects of variants at HMGCR-KIF6loci on a range of cardio-metabolic phenotypes. Methods: We analyzed the range of variants within Genetics in Brisighella Health Study and KIF6 genes using an additive genetic model on 18 cardiometabolic phenotypes in a sample of 1645 individuals from the Genetics in Brisighella Health Study and replicated in 10,662 individuals from the Estonian Genome Center University of Tartu. Results: We defined directly the effects of rs3846662:C>A at HMGCR on apoB levels. The analysis also confirmed effects of on low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and total cholesterol levels. Variants in KIF6 gene did not reveal any associations with cardiometabolic phenotypes. Conclusion: This study highlights effect of HMGCR locus on assay-determined apoB levels, an infrequent measure of blood lipids in large studies.

Abstract
The innate immune response contributes to hepatic steatosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the pathogenic mechanism of NAFLD is still poorly understood. The costimulatory molecule V-set and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein-4 (Vsig4), which is exclusively expressed on macrophages, shows significant role in regulating macrophage-mediated inflammation. Here, we attempted to explore if Vsig4 expression was involved in high fat diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD. The results indicated that Vsig4 expression was markedly down-regulated in fatty livers of NAFLD patients and obese mice. Vsig4 knockout accelerated HFD-induced metabolic dysfunction. In addition, the loss of Vsig4 significantly promoted insulin resistance and lipid deposition in liver samples of HFD-challenged mice. Furthermore, HFD-induced inflammation was apparently accelerated in Vsig4 knockout mice by further activating nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Also, Vsig4 deficient mice exhibited greater collagen accumulation in hepatic samples in HFD-challenged mice compared to the WT mice, which was through promoting transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1) signaling. Importantly, we found that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- or TGFβ1-stimulated inflammation and fibrosis in primary hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells, respectively, were markedly exacerbated by co-culture with condition medium from bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with Vsig4 deficiency. Finally, transplantation of bone marrow cells from control mice to Vsig4-knockout mice restored the severity of steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis after HFD feeding. Therefore, loss of Vsig4 accelerated the severity of lipid deposition, fibrosis and the inflammatory response. Vsig4 could be a therapeutic target for NAFLD treatment.

Abstract
Multiple clinical trials investigate statins' effects in breast cancer. The ABCB1 genotype appears to influence statin response and toxicity in the cardiovascular setting. This exploratory study aimed to investigate the interplay between preoperative statin use, ABCB1 genotype, and tumor-specific expression of the statin target 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) in breast cancer. Preoperative statin use, ABCB1 C3435T genotype, and HMGCR expression in relation to outcome were analyzed in 985 primary breast cancer patients from a population-based prospective cohort in Sweden from 2002 to 2012. Preoperative statin use (n = 80) was not associated with ABCB1 C3435T genotype (n = 576), HMGCR expression (n = 848), or clinical outcomes. ABCB1 C3435T TT-carriers had lower risk of breast cancer events than any C-carriers (adjusted hazard ratio (HRadj) 0.74; 95%CI 0.49, 1.12), but only in non-statin users (Pinteraction = 0.042). Statin users with TT genotype had higher risk of distant metastasis (HRadj 4.37; 95%CI 1.20, 15.91; Pinteraction = 0.009) and shorter overall survival than other patients (HRadj 3.77; 95%CI 1.37, 10.39; Pinteraction = 0.019). In conclusion, there were nominally significant interactions between ABCB1 genotype and preoperative statin use on clinical outcomes, while preoperative statin use was not associated with outcomes. Since this is an exploratory study of the impact of the ABCB1 genotype in relation to statin use and clinical outcomes in the breast cancer setting, the results should be interpreted with caution and warrant replication in an independent cohort, preferably in a randomized setting. Since statin use is common in breast cancer patients, it would be of interest to further elucidate the clinical impact of the ABCB1 genotype in breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CYP7A1 (cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in bile acid biosynthesis from cholesterol-a main pathway for cholesterol removal from the body. CYP7A1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with total cholesterol and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels, risk of cardiovascular diseases, and other phenotypes; however, results are inconsistent, and causative variants remain uncertain, except for a frequent promoter SNP (rs3808607). METHODS We used chromatin conformation capture (4C assay), chromatin immunoprecipitation qPCR assay in hepatocytes, and CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-mediated genome editing in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line cells to identify regulatory regions for CYP7A1. We then screened for SNPs located in regulatory regions, testing effects on reporter gene assays and on hepatic CYP7A1 expression by measuring allelic mRNA expression imbalance. RESULTS 4C assays showed several regions interacting with CYP7A1 promoter. CRISPR-mediated genome editing in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line cells revealed a novel CYP7A1 enhancer and a repressor region, located >10 kb downstream of the CYP7A1 promoter. SNP screening with an allelic mRNA expression imbalance in human livers and reporter gene assays identified a frequent functional SNP (rs9297994) located in the downstream CYP7A1 enhancer region. SNP rs9297994 is in high linkage disequilibrium with promoter SNP rs3808607 but has opposite effects on CYP7A1 mRNA expression. Their combined effects using a 2-SNP model robustly associate with hepatic CYP7A1 mRNA expression, ranging >2 orders of magnitude. Moreover, only the 2-SNP model, but not each SNP alone, is significantly associated with LDL levels, risk of coronary artery disease, statin response, and diabetes mellitus in several clinical cohorts, including CATHGEN (Catheterization Genetics) and Framingham. CONCLUSIONS Two interacting regulatory SNPs modulate CYP7A1 expression and are associated with risk of coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
PURPOSE Statins have been postulated to have chemopreventive activity against breast cancer. We evaluated whether germline genetic polymorphisms modified the relationship between statins and breast cancer risk using data from the Women's Health Initiative. We evaluated these interactions using both candidate gene and agnostic genome-wide approaches. METHODS To identify candidate gene-statin interactions, we tested interactions between 22 SNPS in nine candidate genes implicated in the effect of statins on lipid metabolism in 1687 cases and 1687 controls. We then evaluated statin use interaction with the remaining 30,380 SNPs available in this sample from the CGEMS GWAS study. RESULTS After adjusting for multiple comparisons, no SNP interactions with statin usage and risk of breast cancer were statistically significant in either the candidate genes or genome-wide approaches. CONCLUSIONS We found no evidence of SNP interactions with statin usage for breast cancer risk in a population of 3374 individuals. These results suggest that genome-wide common genetic variants do not moderate the association between statin usage and breast cancer in the population of women in the Women's Health Initiative.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the associations between atorvastatin-induced liver injury (AILI) and polymorphisms in eight genes possibly involved in the hepatic metabolism (CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and UGT1A1) and membrane transport (ABCB1, ABCG2 and SLCO1B1) of atorvastatin, we genotyped 30 AILI and 414 non-AILI patients recruited at BioBank Japan for 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). RESULTS An SNP in ABCB1 (rs2032582: 2677G > T/A) was significantly associated with AILI (P = 0.00068, odds ratio (OR) = 2.59 with 95 % confidence interval (CI) of 1.49-4.50, G allele versus T and A alleles), indicating that the G allele might be a risk factor for AILI. The cytotoxicity test demonstrated that IC50 value of atorvastatin to inhibit the growth and/or viability of Flp-In-293/ABCB1 (2677G) cells was 5.44 ± 0.10 mM, which was significantly lower than those in Flp-In-293/ABCB1 (2677 T) (6.02 ± 0.07 mM) and Flp-In-293/ABCB1 (2677A) cells (5.95 ± 0.08 mM). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that ABCB1 rs2032582 may predict the risk of AILI in Japanese population.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Statins form the backbone of lipid-lowering therapy for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, there is large interindividual variability in clinical response to statin treatment. Several gene variants that can be aligned to either the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of statin have been proposed as potentially important determinants of statin response. We aimed to study the association of known variations in SLCO1B1, CYP3A4, ABCB1, CYP3A5, ABCG5 and CYP7A1 genes with lipid levels in response to atorvastatin therapy. METHODS Genotypes were determined using multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction in 177 Indian patients, treated with 10 mg of atorvastatin for 8 weeks. Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were recorded at baseline and after 8 weeks of atorvastatin treatment. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A total of 177 hypercholesterolaemic patients were genotyped to study genetic determinants of atorvastatin response. The genotype distribution for all polymorphisms investigated was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In our study, patients with wild-type genotypes of CYP7A1 (rs3808607), CYP3A4 (rs2740574), SLCO1B1 (rs2306283) and variant allele-carrying genotype of ABCB1 (rs2032582, rs1045642) showed significantly greater LDL-cholesterol reductions in response to atorvastatin therapy. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION The variable response to atorvastatin therapy in terms of LDL-cholesterol lowering due to genetic variations in CYP7A1, CYP3A4, SLCO1B1 and ABCB1 is a promising finding. Further validation in large Indian cohorts is required before it can be assessed for clinical utility.

Abstract
AIM We evaluated the evidence of pharmacogenetic associations with statins in a systematic review. METHODS Two separate outcomes were considered of interest: modification of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) response and modification of risk for cardiovascular events. RESULTS In candidate gene studies, 141 loci were claimed to be associated with LDL-C response. Only 5% of these associations were positively replicated. In addition, six genome-wide association studies of LDL-C response identified common SNPs in APOE, LPA, SLCO1B1, SORT1 and ABCG2 at genome-wide significance. None of the investigated SNPs consistently affected the risk reduction for cardiovascular events. CONCLUSION Only five genetic loci were consistently associated with LDL-C response. However, as effect sizes are modest, there is no evidence for the value of genetic testing in clinical practice.

Abstract
Lipoprotein subclass measures associate with cardiometabolic disease risk. Currently the information that lipoproteins convey on disease risk over that of traditional demographic and lipid measures is minimal, and so their use is clinics is limited. However, lipoprotein subclass perturbations represent some of the earliest manifestations of metabolic dysfunction, and their etiology is partially distinct from lipids, so information on the genetic etiology of lipoproteins offers promise for improved risk prediction, and unique mechanistic insights into IR and atherosclerosis. Here, I review the genetic variants validated as associating with lipoprotein measures to date, and show that the majority of identified variants have functionality that is best understood as related to lipid measures. Until we focus on the genes as they relate to lipoprotein subclass production, we are limiting our understanding of biological mechanisms underlying cardiometabolic disease.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of genetic polymorphism of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene polymorphism −629C/A on the therapeutic effect of atorvastatin and clinical outcome in Han Chinese patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Material/Methods From October 2011 to December 2012, 348 patients with angiographically confirmed CHD were recruited. CETP gene polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Serum level of CETP was determined with enzyme-1inked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Lipid 1evel in all patients was determined at baseline and after 12 months of treatment with 20 mg/d of atorvastatin. All the patients were followed-up at least 12 months. Major adverse cardiac events, including death, non-fatal infarction, revascularization, and stroke (MACE), were recorded. Results The frequency of the −629A allele was 0.412. Compared with CC or CA genotypes, individuals with AA genotype had lower CETP levels (P=0.026) and higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (P=0.035). After 12 months of atorvastatin therapy, carriers with CC genotype had greater reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P<0.001), reduced LP (a) (P=0.005), and elevated HDL-C (P=0.045) compared with CA or AA genotypes. The incidence of MACE after a mean follow-up of 17.3±5.2 months was 8.8%. The cumulative MACE-free survival rates were 90.1%, 85.2%, and 71.1% for CC, CA, and AA genotypes, respectively. Conclusions Our results suggest that the AA variant of the −629A allele of CETP gene had higher HDL-C levels and reduced CETP levels, but patients with CC genotype appeared to have benefited more from statin therapy with reduction in LDL-C and LP (a) levels. Long-term clinical prognosis was, however, not affected by the 3 genotypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relation between the ABCB1 and CYP7A1 genes and serum lipid levels and lipid-lowering efficacy of statin treatment is inconsistent. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this meta-analysis was to explore the associations between the ABCB1 and CYP7A1 genes and serum lipid levels and lipid-lowering efficacy of statin treatment. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched systematically for studies of associations between relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms C3435 T (ABCB1), G2677 A/T (ABCB1), and A-204C (CYP7A1) and serum lipid levels or statin treatment. Associations were assessed in pooled data by calculating mean difference with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Seventeen studies with 4890 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The "AA" group at A-204C (CYP7A1) had lower serum total cholesterol (TC) levels than "AC + CC" group. The "AA" group at A-204C (CYP7A1) had greater reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with statin treatment than "AC + CC" group. The "GG" group at G2677 A/T (ABCB1) had less reduction in TC and LDL-C with statin treatment than "non-GG" group. CONCLUSIONS The A-204C (CYP7A1) polymorphism was associated with the level of TC and the lipid-lowering efficacy of statin treatment in the level of LDL-C. The G2677 A/T (ABCB1) polymorphism was associated with the lipid-lowering efficacy of statin treatment in the levels of LDL-C and TC.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and other developed countries, and is fast growing in developing countries, particularly as life expectancy in all parts of the world increases. Current recommendations for the prevention of cardiovascular disease issued jointly from the American Academy of Cardiology and American Heart Association emphasize that lifestyle modification should be incorporated into any treatment plan, including those on statin drugs. However, there is a dearth of data on the interaction between diet and statins with respect to additive, complementary or antagonistic effects. This review collates the available data on the interaction of statins and dietary patterns, cognition, genetics and individual nutrients, including vitamin D, niacin, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, phytochemicals (polyphenols and stanols) and alcohol. Of note, although the available data is summarized, the scope is limited, conflicting and disparate. In some cases it is likely there is unrecognized synergism. Virtually no data are available describing the interactions of statins with dietary components or dietary pattern in subgroups of the population, particularly those who may benefit most were positive effects identified. Hence, it is virtually impossible to draw any firm conclusions at this time. Nevertheless, this area is important because were the effects of statins and diet additive or synergistic harnessing the effect could potentially lead to the use of a lower intensity statin or dose.

Abstract
High levels of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) have traditionally been linked to lower incidence of cardiovascular disease, prompting the search for effective and safe HDL-C raising pharmaceutical agents. Although drugs such as niacin and fibrates represent established therapeutic approaches, HDL-C response to such therapies is variable and heritable, suggesting a role for pharmacogenomic determinants. Multiple genetic polymorphisms, located primarily in genes encoding lipoproteins, cholesteryl ester transfer protein, transporters and CYP450 proteins have been shown to associate with HDL-C drug response in vitro and in epidemiologic studies. However, few of the pharmacogenomic findings have been independently validated, precluding the development of clinical tools that can be used to predict HDL-C response and leaving the goal of personalized medicine to future efforts.

Abstract
Hypercholesterolaemia is a highly prevalent condition that has major health and cost implications for society. Pharmacotherapy is an important and effective treatment modality for hypercholesterolaemia, with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors ('statins') the most commonly used class of drugs. Over the past decade, there has been intensive research to identify pharmacogenetic markers to guide treatment of hypercholesterolaemia. This study aimed to review the evidence of incremental cost, effect and cost effectiveness of pharmacogenetic-guided treatment of hypercholesterolaemia. Three cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs) were identified that studied the value of screening for genotypes of angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE), cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), and kinesin family member 6 (KIF6) prior to initiating statin therapy. For all three CEAs, a major limitation identified was the reproducibility of the evidence supporting the clinical effect of screening for the pharmacogenetic marker. Associated issues included the uncertain value of pharmacogenetic markers over or in addition to existing approaches for monitoring lipid levels, and the lack of evidence to assess the effectiveness of alternative therapeutic options for individuals identified as poor responders to statin therapy. Finally, the economic context of the market for diagnostic tests (is it competitive or is there market power?) and the practicality of large-scale screening programmes to inform prescribing in a complex and varied market may limit the generalizability of the results of the specific CEAs to policy outcomes. The genotype of solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) has recently been associated with increased risk of muscle toxicity with statin therapy and the review identified that exploration of cost effectiveness of this pharmacogenetic marker is likely warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW With the advent of whole-transcriptome sequencing, or RNA-seq, we now know that alternative splicing is a generalized phenomenon, with nearly all multiexonic genes subject to alternative splicing. In this review, we highlight recent studies examining alternative splicing as a modulator of cellular cholesterol homeostasis and as an underlying mechanism of dyslipidemia. RECENT FINDINGS A number of key genes involved in cholesterol metabolism are known to undergo functionally relevant alternative splicing. Recently, we have identified coordinated changes in alternative splicing in multiple genes in response to alterations in cellular sterol content. We and others have implicated several splicing factors as regulators of lipid metabolism. Furthermore, a number of cis-acting human gene variants that modulate alternative splicing have been implicated in a variety of human metabolic diseases. SUMMARY Alternative splicing is of importance in various types of genetically influenced dyslipidemias and in the regulation of cellular cholesterol metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperlipidemia is a common adverse effect of sirolimus (SRL). We previously showed significant associations of ABCB1 3435C>T and IL-10 -1082G>A with log-transformed SRL dose-adjusted weighted-normalized trough. We further examined to see whether these polymorphisms were also associated with SRL-induced dyslipidemia. METHODS Genotyping was performed for ABCB1 1236C>T, 2677 G>T/A, and 3435C>T; CYP3A4 -392A>G; CYP3A5 6986A>G and 14690G>A; IL-10 -1082G>A; TNF -308G>A; and ApoE ε2, ε3, and ε4 alleles. The longitudinal changes of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) levels after SRL treatment before statin therapy were analyzed by a linear mixed-effects model, with adjustments for selected covariates for each lipid. RESULTS Under the dominant genetic model, ABCB1 3435C>T was associated with TC (P=0.0001) and LDL-C (P<0.0001) values after SRL administration. Mean TC and LDL-C levels were 26.9 and 24.9 mg/dL higher, respectively, in ABCB1 3435T carriers than 3435CC homozygotes at an average SRL trough concentration of 4 ng/mL without concomitant medication. ABCB1 1236C>T under the recessive model and IL-10 -1082G>A under the dominant model were associated with log-transformed TG values (P=0.0051 and 0.0436, respectively). Mean TG value was 25.1% higher in ABCB1 1236TT homozygotes compared with ABCB1 1236C carriers and was 12.4% higher in IL-10 -1082AA homozygotes than -1082G carriers. CONCLUSIONS ABCB1 polymorphisms were found to be associated with lipid responses to SRL treatment, confirming the role of ABCB1 gene in SRL pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Further studies are necessary to define the role of ABCB1 and IL-10 polymorphisms on SRL-induced dyslipidemia in renal transplantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To survey genetic variation contributing to variable responsiveness and toxicity to important cardiovascular drugs and highlight recent developments in the field of cardiovascular pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine. RECENT FINDINGS Previously recognized pharmacogenomic associations with drug efficacy have been further validated (e.g. with clopidogrel and warfarin) and shown to influence clinically important outcomes. The clinical significance of variants modulating toxicity (e.g. SLCO1B1 with simvastatin) has also been confirmed. The genetic contribution to variable efficacy and toxicity of other important classes of cardiovascular drugs, such as beta-blockers, is becoming increasingly recognized. Prospective trials testing whether the use of genomic information improves clinical care are underway. Guidance based on the most well-established pharmacogenomic findings has appeared in prescribing labeling and is in the early stages of being implemented into routine clinical care. SUMMARY Clinically validated gene variants that modulate responsiveness to cardiovascular drugs continue to be discovered and validated. Early steps are underway to translate these discoveries into clinical care.

Abstract
Cholesterol 7-alpha hydroxylase (CYP7A1) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the neutral pathway of bile acids synthesis. The expression of CYP7A1 can be regulated not only by diurnal rhythm, but also by gene polymorphism, diet, hormones, cytokines and drugs. CYP7A1 gene polymorphism is associated not only with some diseases but also with response to drug therapy. A cascade network consisting of multiple nuclear receptors is involved in the regulation of CYP7A1 expression to control bile acid synthesis and lipid metabolism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION CYP7A1 encodes cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase, an enzyme crucial to cholesterol homeostasis. Its transcriptional activity is downregulated by fenofibrate. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of CYP7A1 polymorphisms on lipid changes in response to fenofibrate. METHODS We examined the associations of 3 tagging single nuclear polymorphisms (i6782C>T, m204T>G, 3U12536A>C) at CYP7A1 with triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL)-C responses to a 3-week treatment with 160 mg/d of fenofibrate in 864 US white participants from the Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs and Diet Network study. RESULTS The m204T>G variant was significantly associated with TG and HDL-C responses with fenofibrate. Individuals homozygous for the common T allele of m204T>G single nuclear polymorphism displayed both the greater reduction of TG (-32% for TT, -28% for GT, -25% for GG, P = 0.004) and an increase of HDL-C response compared with noncarriers (4.1% for TT, 3.4% for GT, 1.2% for GG, P = 0.01). Conversely, individuals homozygous for the minor allele of i6782C>T showed a greater increase in the HDL-C response compared with noncarriers (2.8% CC, 4.5% for CT, 5.8% for TT, P = 0.02), albeit no significant effect on TG response. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that common variants at the CYP7A1 locus modulate the TG-lowering and HDL-C-raising effects of fenofibrate, and contribute to the interindividual variation of the drug responses.

Abstract
In the past decade, significant strides have been made in the area of cardiovascular pharmacogenomic research, with the discovery of associations between certain genotypes and drug-response phenotypes. While the motivations for personalized and predictive medicine are promising for patient care and support a model of health system efficiency, the implementation of pharmacogenomics for cardiovascular therapeutics on a population scale faces substantial challenges. The greatest obstacle to clinical implementation of cardiovascular pharmacogenetics may be the lack of both reproducibility and agreement about the validity and utility of the findings. In this review, we present the scientific evidence in the literature for diagnostic variants for the US FDA-labeled cardiovascular therapies, namely CYP2C19 and clopidogrel, CYP2C9/VKORC1 and warfarin, and CYP2D6/ADRB1 and β-blockers. We also discuss the effect of HMGCR/LDLR in decreasing the effectiveness of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with statin therapy, the SLCO1B1 genotype and simvastatin myotoxicity, and ADRB1/ADD1 for antihypertensive response.

Abstract
Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), the rate-limiting enzyme in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids, is a postulated gene modifier of colorectal cancer risk and target for the therapeutic bile acid, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). We investigated associations between CYP7A1 polymorphisms and fecal bile acids, colorectal adenoma (CRA), and UDCA efficacy for CRA prevention. Seven tagging, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in CYP7A1 were measured in 703 (355 UDCA, 348 placebo) participants of a phase III chemoprevention trial, of which 495 had known baseline fecal bile acid concentrations. In the placebo arm, participants with two minor G(rs8192871) alleles (tag for a low activity promoter polymorphism at -204) had lower odds of high secondary bile acids (OR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.10-0.69), and CRA at 3 years' follow-up (OR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.19-0.89), than AA carriers. Haplotype construction from the six polymorphic SNPs showed participants with the third most common haplotype (C(rs10957057)C(rs8192879)G(rs8192877)T(rs11786580)A(rs8192871)G(rs13251096)) had higher odds of high primary bile acids (OR = 2.34, 95% CI: 1.12-4.89) and CRA (OR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.00-3.57) than those with the most common CTACAG haplotype. Furthermore, three SNPs (rs8192877, rs8192871, and rs13251096) each modified UDCA efficacy for CRA prevention, and CCGTAG-haplotype carriers experienced 71% lower odds of CRA recurrence with UDCA treatment, an effect not present for other haplotypes (test for UDCA-haplotype interaction, P = 0.020). Our findings support CYP7A1 polymorphisms as determinants of fecal bile acids and risk factors for CRA. Furthermore, UDCA efficacy for CRA prevention may be modified by genetic variation in CYP7A1, limiting treatment benefit to a subgroup of the population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statins are normally the first-line therapy for hypercholesterolemia (HC); however, the lipid-lowering response shows high interindividual variation. We investigated the effect of four polymorphisms in CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and ABCB1 genes on response to atorvastatin and CYP3A4 activity in Chilean subjects with HC. METHODS A total of 142 hypercholesterolemic individuals underwent atorvastatin therapy (10mg/day/1month). Serum lipid levels before and after treatment were measured. Genetic variants in CYP3A4 (-290A>G, rs2740574), CYP3A5 (6986A>G, rs776746) and ABCB1 (2677G>A/T, rs2032582 and 3435C>T, rs1045642) were analyzed by PCR-RFLP. CYP3A4 enzyme activity in urine samples was assessed through determination of 6β-hydroxycortisol/cortisol free ratio (6βOHC/FC). RESULTS After 4weeks of therapy, a significant reduction in total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-c was observed (P<0.001). The G allele for -290A>G polymorphism was related to higher percentage of variation in TC and LDL-c (P<0.001). Moreover, same allele was associated with higher HDL-c variation (P=0.017). In addition, CYP3A4 enzyme activity was lower in subjects carrying this polymorphism (P=0.009). No differences were observed for CYP3A5 and ABCB1 variants. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that presence of G allele for -290A>G polymorphism determines a better response to atorvastatin, being also associated with lower CYP3A4 activity in vivo, causing an increased atorvastatin activity.

Abstract
Patients vary in their responses to drug therapy, and some of that variability is genetically determined. This review outlines general approaches used to identify genetic variation that influences drug response. Examples from specific therapeutic areas are presented, such as cholesterol management, arrhythmias, heart failure, hypertension, warfarin anticoagulation, and antiplatelet agents. A brief view of potential pathways to implementation is presented.

Abstract
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) plays a key role in lipid metabolism. Thus, variations in the CETP gene may be clinically relevant. Newly started atorvastatin users (n=212) were genotyped for CETP genetic variants (TaqIB and I405V). Homozygotes for B1 allele of TaqIB polymorphism had lower plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) compared with B1B2 or B2B2 genotypes (p=0.03, for each). Homozygotes for I allele of I405V polymorphism had lower plasma HDL-C compared with IV or VV genotypes (p=0.001, for each). In the whole population, the B1 carriers increased HDL-C levels by 4% after atorvastatin treatment, compared with B2 carriers, where a 4% decrease occurred (p=0.03). Also homozygotes for B1 allele decreased triglyceride levels to a lesser, though not significant, degree compared to B1B2 or B2B2 genotypes. CETP TaqIB or I405V polymorphisms seem to modify the lipid lowering response to atorvastatin treatment. This knowledge may help design more effective hypolipidaemic treatment.
